Bottle Cap Jewelry

Have you seen these. I should have posted the original one that I copied. I'd like to say they were really easy, but not that easy. They are just bottle caps that can be purchased online. I had some that I bought for scrapbooking ages ago and never used them. I found the plastic necklaces at Joanne's on sale. The original had interchangeable buttons held on by magnets. I made these for my grandkids and choose to glue them in with a hot glue gun. There is scapbook paper lining the cap. You can use material as well. You can buy the bottle caps with the holes already punched in, I think, Mine weren't and that was the hard part. I just used a paper punch as I forgot all about my Cropadile (?) scrapbooking tool. You need little jump ring as well. Make sure they are big enough. Mine were a little bit small. I used buttons and whacked off the back. The magnets used on the original were teeny tiny ones. I bought some and they were about $1 each. I hope you can figure this out, I am lousey at explaining how to make something. They are very cute on little kids. I hadn't seen one for a boy but adapted this for my "Little Fella." His had three little buttons.

Debbie, Theses are just too cute. My little Eloise would love one. Now I have to get my act together I REALLY figure out how to make it. I do not think it is as easy as you make it out to be....remember, I AM OLD! XOXOXO
